Hell is something I would never wish on anyone. If Hell was this sort of la-la land, then there would be absolutely nothing that Christ saved people from. It would have been a pointless death.
If you believe all this, then you would believe Christ descended into hell for the three days he was dead, to serve our punishment. All the punishment on earth would have been minor scrapes compared to the punishment he would receive from Satan. Jesus was delivered into his hands, thus "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
So I would say Hell is absolute separation from God, and complete saturation of Satan.
Darunia, I brought it up only to say that yes, nobody has seen a physical or spiritual soul, so they don't know if it exists or if it doesn't. But wait, who would expect to see a soul anyways? Seeing brain patterns is one thing, but... nah, forget it.
